My mag box will load them fine but I single feed them all the time anyway. One in the tube and two beside me on the ground. Even while hunting I have found this plenty effective. Might be worth a try??

I would have to modify my AI mags, they are square in the rear which acts as a bolt stop when you are empty. It's kinda nice to have a 5rnd mag I may try the XL Mags from Mcrees, what is your COAL?

I am not sure about the 5 round mag thing. I am building a rifle now (for a friend) with one. It is a seekins and plenty long, but heavy and I would never shoot five in a row anyway. I like my barrel more than that. Pretty sure I will be building single shots in the future. More and more I am a believer in the " slow hit is better than a fast miss" senario.

+1 Jeff, I cant figure out why Long range hunting rifles need mags myself, in a military application heeeell yes, but hunting no IMHO.
All my longrangers are bulit on Barnard P's.

But if it smokes yeh tyres, get magazines.

Back on topic, got too many 300 SMKs to buy more, but I spose I could get a box and try em, then maybe sell the SMK's if theyre real good.
